| 3.3 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 7/10 | 3/5 | 13/20 | Feb 16, 2009 On tap at Bailey’s taproom. Pours deep red, good clarity, with a light beige head. Soft piney hop nose. The hops seem to show more in the flavor then the aroma, not as floral as I was hopping for, more siding on the bittering. Caramel and faint chocolate flavors up front, soft of dry chalky finish to the caramel, reminds of those round cream filled caramel candies. boFNjackson (1273), Portland, Oregon, USA
| 3.4 | Aroma | Appearance | Flavor | Palate | Overall | | 7/10 | 3/5 | 6/10 | 3/5 | 15/20 | Feb 12, 2009 Tap @ Bailey’s Taproom... Poured ruby with a white head. Leafy, buttery malt on the nose with also some earthy hops. Not as hoppy in the flavors as I would have hopped for in these strong Reds. Lots of butter, caramel flavors from the malt and some sweet fruit (like berries). Similar to an Amber but with a kick from the alcohol.
